Cladistics very often depend on the viewpoint of the one doing the classification and what factors are considered as a separator.
As an example...if the ability to make vocalization similar to humans...the parrot, or lyra bird would be in our line. Closer than chimps or orangutans.
In the future when all genomes have been elucidated we might base our connected relationships on the closeness of the genomes, and number and sequence of the base pairs...
